Rubrics

If other content areas have state approved rubrics, such as writing and math, the BICT content areas should have a state approved software skills rubric also.
Please test this rubric when evaluating software skills in the classroom. A teacher can select the objectives they would like to assess. Please provide feedback on the discussion board.
